"[Open cultural heritage in the public domain] can help shift the mindset from one of custodianship, where heritage is often protected behind walls, to one of stewardship, where it is actively shared, interpreted, and made relevant for today's audiences."

Deborah DeAngelis, the lead of the Creative Commons Italy chapter, shares the opportunities she sees for Italy if heritage were made more openly accessible.
